Te Pāti Māori has risen in popularity in new political polling, suggesting they could play kingmaker this election.
The party has almost doubled in points from 1.8 percent to 3.5 percent in the Newshub-Reid Research poll.
The two main parties are nail-bitingly close, with Labour sitting at 35.9 percent, and National on 35.3 percent.
Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngārewa-Packer spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.
